Covent Garden- 1973

Courtesy, How to be a Retronaut

Covent Garden in London is a tourist Mecca of trendy shops and theatres but at one time was a market for fruits and vegetables. The always-interesting web site How to Be a Retronaut, has a collection of photos taken of the area in 1973, and you can imagine they are a car spotters dream.

Check out the post here and keep an eye out for the classic Mini in the seventies-tastic "Bracken" color - just like mine sans the white roof! Oh, and be sure to give yourself extra points if you spot the purple Jaguar E-Type roadster. No easy clues, but drop me a note if you need a hint.
